Optimal Relay Node Deployment for LTE Network Cellular Systems

Abstract

Relaying is one of the features being proposed for the 4 G LTE advanced systems. The aim of LTE relaying is to enhance both coverage and capacity. Relaying is a potential solution to improve the coverage and capacity in LTE-Networks .relay deployment to support higher data rates and better coverage, especially at the cell edges which suffer from inter-cell interference. The solution of relaying is attractive because of its low cost and easy deployment. This project shows that deploying just one relays per sector can significantly improve system capacity and coverage. The geometric deployment of relays that maximizes the spectral efficiency of the worst users or minimize outage. For its study is compared several aspects like SINR or the throughput between a scenario with Relay and another without Relay having implemented a LTE-Networks.
